Conference Basics & Add-ons

Registration Fee includes the following:

Entrance to the 2014 Conference, with your choice of open workshops.

No preregistration of your choices is required. If you need to leave for an agent or publisher pitch, we ask that you slip out quietly out of respect for the workshop leader. If you find the workshop was not a wise choice for you, please change workshops discreetly and quietly.

A free pitch appointment with an agent or publisher, as available.

Morning coffee and snacks.

A buffet lunch with a variety of choices.

Published authors may place their books in the Passing the Quill Bookstore.

This is for faculty members and registrants, as well. Passing the Quill takes 10% of your sales. You must provide the books on conference day, with your paperwork filled out. See www.castlerockwriters.com to print out the book store information and book list form.
